PRO MOD 1

It's obvious to me and countless others that the NHRA does not want to include or present Pro Modified as a professional category. It has shunned all efforts to have it added at every turn. Yet, what is Mike Ashley thinking when he says, "I think NHRA has given the Pro Mod class a boost and I would like to see that continue." (DRO 11-14-05). Huh? What? Is he, and are others, drinking the NHRA Kool-Aid? Hey Mike, they don't want Pro Mod, don't you get it? Why keep banging your head against the wall? And begging?

The home for Pro Mod has been the IHRA, and will be regardless of what the NHRA does or does not do.

PRO MOD 2

Well, what's done is done; no sense in arguing with anyone. I do feel Pro Mod gained spectators at NHRA events, sparked new interest, and created more than an ample supply of bang for the buck. They put forth a big effort on their side. Very colorful, professional, down-to-earth atmosphere.

The other sanctioning body is better at getting-r-done with Pro Mod. And there are plenty of tracks offering many big-buck events that rely on them for their business. OUTLAW PRO MODIFIED is in good shape, with or without NHRA.

Thank you.

Good call, Jeff! U.S. Nationals Pro Mod full qualifying session pre-empted for FIREWORKS!? DUH. . . .

On the Pro Mod NHRA discussion, it is just another example of them keep knocking down the sportsman racers again. Someday this is going to come back to haunt them. What are they going to do if someday the sportsman racers

decide not to show up for one of their races then what are they going to do? Or what would happen on one weekend the bracket racers decided not to show up to any NHRA track? Probably nothing but it would be interesting.

I recently got back from THE SUMMIT CLASSIC at Norwalk with nothing but sportsman racers and we had one of the most enjoyable weeks of racing I have ever had. Thank you for listening to me whine.
